Unfortunately hubby and I had to work on Good Friday as well as the Monday after Easter Sunday, ’cause these are, in contrast to Germany, not official holidays over here. Some companies are closed on these days but not the one I work for and hubby being self employed … well, just let’s say it wouldn’t be his best choice to take these days off. He is not just busy busy with all the dog walks and the training – the dog hotel is packed as well.

However we still had a great weekend and celebrated Easter as every year at our friends house. Only once a year hubby eats French toast – simply because he loves the ones Mindy makes – and I still look forward to an egg dish one of the family members always brings. Some of the people we only see during this traditional Easter brunch so we have to do a lot of catch up and therefore conversations are always interesting.

At one point I had to laugh so hard: somebody said directly to Ella “You are so cute” and she replied “I know” ……. Her babysitter her taught her to give this answer whenever somebody says she is cute or beautiful and at the same time flip her hair back 🙂 Darn cute when a 2 year old is doing it……

Approximately a year ago I heard about a Boot Camp that was held in a park close by. They offer workout classes every day and every class is supposed to be different. I wanted to try it out so badly so I signed up for a free trail week pass. O well, life isn’t always going the way we’re expecting, right? I had to cancel the trail before I even started due to my frozen shoulder, which kicked in right around that time.

Now, a year later I finally went to try out the classes and right away fall in love with the trainer and her concept. This was exactly what I was looking for. If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram you might already got the idea that I am pretty good in working out by myself but it’s still different if a trainer is pushing you a bit further.

They don’t just offer classes in the park – which I love ’cause I love the outdoors – they also opened in indoor facility just a few weeks ago . While we obviously have limited equipment in the park, the indoor facility offers a lot different possibilities and it’s fun to switch it up once in a while. I am just very happy that I’ve found them and I believe this workout is going to help me reaching my weight loss goal.
